✦ Synopsis

Drawing on vast new data that reveal Americans’ changing behavior, Putnam shows how we have become increasingly disconnected from one another and how social structures—whether they be PTA, church, or political parties—have disintegrated. Until the publication of this groundbreaking work, no one had so deftly diagnosed the harm that these broken bonds have wreaked on our physical and civic health, nor had anyone exalted their fundamental power in creating a society that is happy, healthy, and safe.

Like defining works from the past, such as The Lonely Crowd and The Affluent Society, and like the works of C. Wright Mills and Betty Friedan, Putnam’s Bowling Alone has identified a central crisis at the heart of our society and suggests what we can do.

作者认为，民主质量的好坏或民主制度的绩效，可以从公民社会的状况得到解释；如果某一个社会的民主运转出了问题，从根本上说，那一定是公民社会（公民意识、公民组织、公民行为等，总之是公民生活）发生了变化--例如，社区生活走向了衰落。帕特南加入到美国公民参与热情度降低、投票率下降的研究当中，他敏锐地感到，当初托克维尔所描述的美国社区生活正在逐渐衰落，那种喜好结社、喜欢过有组织的公民生活、关注公共话题、热心公益事业的美国人不见了；今天的美国人，似乎不再愿意把闲暇时间用在与邻居一起咖啡聊天，一起走进俱乐部去从事集体行动，而是宁愿一个人在家看电视，或者独自去打保龄球。于是，帕特南想到用"Bowling Alo
